I'm trying to make the HTIRL workROBOTC 2.01 (8Dec)I have the firmware, I have all the drivers and everything else, I'm trying the example provided by Xander and no motor moves

Lemme explain the setup

I have 2 IR receivers on 2 battery charger, first receiver has 2 xl motors, second one has 2 medium motorsFirst on channel 2, second on channel 4 (which I know it will be 1 and 3 on code but I didn't get there yet, just trying to run the example)Everything is PF and functional using the PF remote, of course

But once I launch the sample provided in the drivers suite it tries each port at different speeds but nothing moves

Dunno what to do

PS: I'm a programmer, I'm just new to ROBOTC, any help will be appreciated, thanx!

Now that's something good to know... so, here's the result of the tests

I checked on the IR stuff thru the mobile phone camera and both the IR remote controls will blink quite fast while transmitting signalsThe IR Link does have a bright light but it doesn't blink, it stays on during the testsIt will switch off once, for a moment, between the two tests and that's all

It doesn't communicate, even now that I reinstalled the ROBOTC firmware

Should the IR Link blink fast like the IR remote controllers or is this behaviour normal? (even if it still can't communicate...)

No it won't be an issue, I buy from a private seller here in Rome, Italy ( http://www.robotics2000.it ) and he happens to be a nice person

I'll change it on Monday and be back with news from a functioning one, I'm sure all those infos (like checking with a mobile phone camera) will be useful to others who may encounter any problem with their IRLink

Thank you Xander, you're a Pro!

Re: HiTechnic Infrared Link gives no output

Hell, I just came back with the replacement sensor and it's even worse!

Now RobotC gives me "ERROR!!" after a beeep, this happens right after the sample program started, after the first line and before it actually tries connections

Back to the default NXT-G, program starts and does nothing

What's interesting is that this one doesn't even show a blue light thru the mobile phone cameraShould I guess the previous one didn't work and this one doesn't even start?Does the IRLink have any history of fragility?

I'm going to bring my NXT tomorrow so that I'll be able to test the second replacement, it sucks to be back home and can't play with the new toy
